Ooh, you got the uni angel hair dish. It's one of their signatures. I loved how Tocqueville left in tact the large lobes of uni instead of completely mixing them into the pasta. It' just made for a far more satisfying uni experience.

How much was the truffle pasta, by the way, if you don't mind my asking? Unfortunately, the website was not helpful. The amount of truffle they used were indeed very generous.

Me too. I like their pasta with whole uni. Yummy!The Alba truffle pasta (gnocchi or fettuccine) was really expensive. $85 for appetizer portion and $135 for main dish. I had main dish, and I had no money left in my pocket I had to walk home! LOL

You're very welcome, kosmose7! Glad to hear that you enjoyed those two dishes. The sea urchin with angel hair is one of Tocqueville's signatures. I've not had it because I'm not big on sea urchin. The other signature is the foie gras and scallops, which I have had a couple of times. Wonderful! If you go again, you should definitely try it.

ETA: Looking at the time stamps, I see that my post overlapped with yours and Cheeryvisage's. We had the Alba truffles as part of the lunch tasting menu. The supplement was $40pp.

I will remember the foie gras and scallops next time I go there! I tried their foie gras with riesling jelly last time and it was very good, so I have a feeling their other foie gras dishes will probably be good too! Thanks for the recommendation! :)

Actually, Cheeryvisage, the 5-course lunch tasting is $68. Talk about a bargain!

Yes, it was Miguel. He's such a nice young man and does a truly fine job. He's worked at Tocqueville for a long time. He told us he started in the kitchen polishing the silver. Now, he's a captain who provides polished service (pun intended). :)

although the restaurant as a whole is only "pretty good" IMO, Jane does have a sensational truffled gnocchi dish that can be ordered as either an appetizer or entree. If you do go, you also shouldn't miss the "milk and cookies" dessert
